Cheesy Pasta

This recipe was kind of an accident/experiment. Last weekend, we were grilling chicken and needed a side dish. A cheese pasta with a kick sounded good, and this is what came of it!!

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS:
1 package of spiral pasta (I use whole wheat)
5 ounces of Gorgonzola cheese (if this variety of cheese isn't your fav, something like Gouda would be good!)
5 ounces of Parmesans cheese
1 cup of cream
1/4 cup of cooking sherry
2 tbsp butter (I use smart balance)
1 shallot, diced
1 tbsp of red pepper flakes
1 tbsp of dried mustard
1 tbsp of nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste (I like A LOT of pepper!)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions
2. Meanwhile, cook diced shallots in butter until soft. Add sherry and stir.
3. Add cream and stir. Let mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. Add cheeses and stir. Stir in spices. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes
5. Drain cooked pasta and place in bowl or back into cooking pot. Pour cheese sauce over pasta and serve immediately.
